Abstract:
Pseudowire signaling requires that the Pseudowire Type (PW Type) be identical
in both directions. For certain applications the configuration of the PW Type is most easily accomplished
by configuring this information at just one PW endpoint. In any form of LDP-based signaling, each
PW endpoint must initiate the creation of a unidirectional LSP. In order to allow the initiation
of these two LSPs to remain independent, a means is needed for allowing the PW endpoint
(lacking a priori knowledge of the PW Type) to initiate the creation of an LSP. This
document defines a Wildcard PW Type to satisfy this need. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
